    Rawlings took a bribe of five million dollars from Abacha and Martin Amidu still worships him as a god and he got a State burial.

    There isn't much corruption ín politícs now but it's intentional political labellíng. Few get proven

  • Efo juju 3 weeks ago

    I am sorry for attacking Rawlings wrongly.

  • Efo Juju 3 weeks ago

    I never said I am sorry. You are an imposter. How can I be sorry when Rawlings admitted taking the bribe himself. He said it was only three or two million dollars and not five million dollars.

  • Johnny 3 weeks ago

    Oh yeah, JJ Rawlings took a bribe, even though he portrayed himself as a Saint. For several years, he never accepted that the money even was $5m. He kept on denying it, saying it was $2m until 2018 when he realised that it wa ...

    The story is partly true, he was given a gift from the given contractor and subsequently the contractor came to him for a favor which made him realize that the contractor gave him the money to influence his decision. There he ...

    It was a bribe - simple because there's no line between the two: if my relatives give me a present during a special occasion, it is a present.

    But if a contractor doles out 2000 Pounds to a minister, that cannot be a gift ...

    Are you telling me as a public servant one doesn’t have to accept gifts?? Come on !!!!

  • Kofi Mensah 3 weeks ago

    Exactly that. You are right.

    Remember that gifts ALWAYS serve a purpose, so if a businessman giving 2000 pound to a politician does not constitute a gift, but a bribe. For what reason will any person donate that amount to ...

    Ghanaweb writers again. You wrote "The position of public servants requires integrity, commitment, and dedication while upholding key ethics and values above personal gain."
    So why "HOWEVER, in 1953, the first northerner to ...

    SPOT ON !!

    Starting that paragraph with 'However' removes any relation of that paragraph from the previous paragraphs.

    I don't know how these JSS journalists learnt conjunctions in basic English.

    They steal millions of dollars now and pay bribes to stay in office. Ghana needs another revolution.

    Something happens, they keep them under their beds and the Clearing Agent and his Attorney General kill the case

    To stem off corruption is simply to have the effeontery to confront it headlong by political actors in the system. All the laws are in place, all the crime fighting agencies are in place but what's lacking is the political wi ...
